bill is correct.
Mr.. Robert w. Fenwick, attorney for D.

method Of charging water rentals In Wash
iDgton does not take any account Of the
actual use Of water. Thus a three.story

shop is charged for on the same principle.
Mr.. j. ID. Crolssant, SIS Ninth street, Is
told that his bill is correct. The premises
are charged under the revised rates for
domestic purposes for lunch room, and for
the number OF rooms used for lodging pur-
poses.
